The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth.

Can't wait to see it
This was a fun book to listen to. I've been dreaming of travel for a while and I'm compiling a wishlist of places I want to go. So far, my list is kind of short. I know I want to see more places, but I don't really know where I want to go. This book made me decide to definitely add Santa Barbara County to my list. I had no idea about all the exciting things there! I can't wait to see it!
